Fluval sea products

So I was checking out today the fluval line of supplements and noticed on the trace elements bottle something I'm unsure of



Now don't we tell ppl copper is bad fur your corals but there it is... Am I the only one to find this odd

Copper is needed by living things (its a micro nutrient), just in a very specific quantity. With 3mg/L dosed at 5mL per 200 litres you're looking at:

3mg/L X 0.005L = 0.015mg / 200L = 0.000075mg/L of copper which isn't a whole hell of a lot. However it being a micronutrient I imagine the dose/overdose threshold isn't super high. Which is why you shouldn't exceeding the dosage instructions.

Could you look on the ingredients portion of the label (it appears to be right above the nutrient percentage breakdown you posted) and tell us what form the copper is in?
Some forms of copper are probably more toxic than others.

All this being said. It is a fluval product.

Seems a bit weird to me but maybe it is in a different form or simply a very small amount??

Fish only, sure.
Invertebrates, no way.
Corals, not sure??

What supplement is it?

I didn't buy it just took the picture sorry. It just struck me as odd to have an ingredient that everyone says is bad for corals

Read 90% of them have copper- it's a super low amount and its non harmful and will not build up!
